June 19th, 2022 10:32 AM #2027MANILA, Philippines—While Vice President Leni Robredo already started packing her things in her office in Quezon City on Monday (May 30), a political science professor said she will leave the office with a mark.
Prof. Maria Ela Atienza, of the University of the Philippines Diliman, said Robredo, in the past six years, was “attacked and sidelined” by the Duterte administration and that her office was given a very small budget—all because she was from the opposition.
Unlike vice presidents before her, Robredo was only given a short stint in the Cabinet–as head of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) for five months.
Robredo was designated by Duterte as head of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) chief then, Aaron Aquino.
However, less than a month after working in the middle of an atmosphere of distrust by the President and his men and threats that she would be fired if she helped foreign investigations into the bloody anti-drug campaign, Robredo was removed from ICAD.
This was far from how Joseph Estrada, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Noli de Castro and Jejomar Binay served as vice presidents—Estrada was chairman of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (1992 to 1997); Arroyo was secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (1998 to 2000); while De Castro (2004 to 2010) and Binay (2010 to 2015) were HUDCC chairman.
For Atienza, the lack of a Cabinet post affected Robredo’s public visibility: “Together with disinformation and fake news, her lack of a high profile Cabinet position contributed to the initial difficulties at the beginning of her campaign for the presidency.”
“She was less well-known and hence the low trust ratings in the surveys compared with her predecessors,” she said.

June 30th, 2022 11:34 PM #2029Leni Robredo's term sa VP may have ended today but her advocacies and her concern for the welfare of the poor will continue as she will continue her work as a private citizen. Maraming, maraming salamat Madam Leni Robredo sa mga nagawa mo para sa bayan in your 6 years as VP. She proved to be an epitome of what a genuine public servant truly is. Good luck and Godspeed, Leni.

Yung sobra mong Pulitika at pagka lulong sa kapangyarihan, pati NGO ni Robredo di mo kaya hayaan. Inaatake mo pa rin. I hope Robredo's camp do something about this lady to teach her a lesson.
